Kanye West is one of the most prominent pop cultural figures of our time, but also an artist that opens himself up for a fair amount of lampoonery and criticism. This is what happens when you are perhaps the biggest musician in the world, but also a comical egomaniac. The general consensus, it would seem, is that nobody loves Kanye more than Kanye, a notion that has been captured by the Australian artist Scott Marsh in a new two-story mural.
It all began with a photoshopped image of Kanye West planting a big kiss on himself, with Kanye’s head clearly placed on his wife Kim Kardashian’s body. A Reddit post claims Kanye wants the image removed from the internet, although, given how bad the Photoshop is, it’s hard to believe he could really care all that much. It is this image that has now been placed upon the side of a building in Sydney by Marsh. It’s a massive ode to Kanye’s love for Kanye, and also a fairly impressive recreation of the original image in paint form.
This is not the only Kanye West related mural that has gone up in Australia recently. A mural of Kim Kardashian’s nude selfie of equal grandeur went up in Melbourne, before it was quickly defaced. Will the Kanye mural receive a similar fate? Or are some things just too beautiful to mess with?
